On Being Only Sanguine

Hello All,

Working with the VC for so long has given me insight from several people like myself who are struggling with their sanguine vampirism. Because of the dangerous and unreliable nature of receivng blood from a donor, most people either choose to ignore their instincts, or attempt to learn a different way to feed in order to sustitute for their need for blood.

This is a great idea in theory, substituting blood energies for other energies, however, this is not always ideal, as there are those, who like me, can only feed sanguine. In order to start this off correctly, I must first define what being sanguine really is. A sanguine vampire can feed only on blood energies, if it is possible to feed from other sources, then that would require adding sanguine with a slash to include the other methods available to them. Quick definition, sanguine vampires need to feed on the energies from blood, meaning life energies are taken through the blood making the blood a vessel which contains the energies needed.

Things that I have found during times when I have been without a donor, is that if you try to maintain your health on the physical level, i.e. eating correctly, sleeping well *some consider this an impossibility because of the missing energies*, and maintaining a normal routine of exercise help to reduce the amount of energies you need. However, these are not a replacement and while they help for a short amount of time, usually you find yourself needing more to tide you over until you can get a new donor.

Another thing that you can do as a sanguine vampire without a donor is to find things to fill your day in order to take your mind off the fact that you need energies and that you feel weak and unenergized. One of the things I do is to fill my days doing something I enjoy, either planting, taking care of my flowers, loofahs, etc, or just enjoying the company of my various pets. These are also sometimes considered forms of meditation, however, I do not feel so, but I believe meditation might also have the same effect.

One thing to remember is, that while being a singularly sanguine vampire may be complicated and extremely rare, there are several of us whom you can go to who will understand what you are going through and can help you out. While there are some who are singularly sanguine, there are others who have experienced sanguine vampirism and its a part of who they are as well who can also help...if you want to learn more, you can write to me at demonessbarbie@yahoo.com. Hope that you all enjoyed this article and any questions can be sent to me directly.

There is one more thing I need to note here, there are those who will try to belittle you or attempt to make you feel as though you are not "as much vampire" or a lower vampire because you are only sanguine, but those are few and far between. I myself have received this type of treatment, and while its hurtful and rude that someone might act that way and say those things, just remember, vampirism, be it psy or empathic, or elemental, or sanguine, or negative, is all the same, all of us need energies, all of us have to seek them out and all of us take them in our own way.
